It used to be that when you turned on max battery, you'd get an immediate boost of 20-25 kW, even if you didn't wait for the battery to warm up. Now, you have to use launch mode to get that boost.

Wow. Is that interesting. So up until now the newer the battery the part number would increment. Seems like more alternative facts? So now if you blast through a V2 or V3 battery, you end up with a V1 ish battery? Ouch.

My battery was to be replaced today. They received an 85 pack but later realized that it was not Ludicrous upgradeable - only certain hardware IDs are upgradeable. So the search is on for another 85 pack with the correct hardware ID. I don't have any estimate on how long that might take. I'm being patient...

basically same thing with me. they got one pack to modify, was shipped to burbank then they found the pack was damaged. so once again search, modify, overnight ship, damaged. the 3rd pack was ok. whole thing took almost 3 weeks.
that being said, the service manager said they are working on a way to repair the p90d packs at the SC rather than fremont.

It would be interesting if you could find out exactly what they are fixing on the packs.

This was discussed earlier - but still without any closure. We really really really need Tesla to guide us on how we are supposed to avoid a battery replacement. My memory flashes back to a grandma sitting behind the wheel.... though that won't work for most grandma's I know.
Who wants to keep doing this dance...
damage the battery by driving in some unspecified manner
wait a few weeks while they find some used battery they can remanufacture
while driving around with sub par performance and a nice warning on your screen
rinse and repeat
One can only hope they are working on a fix to the battery that will eventually end the dance.

I was just on the tesla motors site - where under "Technology" they state:
"Regular over-the-air updates add safety and navigation features, enhance performance and improve the driver experience"
Or NOT!
"Regular over-the-air updates add safety and navigation features, enhance performance and improve the driver experience"
Or NOT!
I agree I tried to get information on this point or on some measure of the status of my battery and I couldn't get anything except told my battery was fine. I have countless WOTs, but only a handful of LMs and a few dozen MBP WOTs.
Would be nice if we cld figure out if there is a pattern of use that correlates with battery replacement msg. I seem to recall others with use pattern similar to mine getting the battery msg though while I am fine.

The incredible g-forces of wot will slow time down, so the watch batteries should last longer.

At the SC to get a sqeak in the dashpad silenced and asked if they would read out the performance counters while it was there. No go at the Dania SC. Disappointed. good news, it only took 24 hours to get an appointment.
Your wait times will probably go up slightly once the 500,000 model 3s hit the road next year. The body shops will be ok since the model 3 will be fully autonomous.

I'm still on 17.11.10 on my P85DL.
Still pulling 456KW when warm. So has anyone with a 1500 amp (p85DL or P90DL V1) seen a drop in power from any software update when not using launch mode?
The only issue I've had so far is that my front CV half shafts have been replaced twice. The second time they replaced with a different part number. My service adviser at Fremont told me she saw them side by side and that the upgraded CV shafts were significantly larger in diameter than the previous version. Made me wonder if these are the P100D CV shafts.

I would also be interested in knowing if it is safe to update to the latest firmware for the P90D v2...

Interesting, thanks for that info! I also had my half-shaft replaced just recently.
As for max power, I still haven't seen a drop if not using LM. I'm on 7.14.35 (latest).
